2011 - the year of being 30

I have plans for 2011. Big plans. I have plans of getting out of debt, of saving money, of earning a promotion, of losing the rest of the "first year of marriage weight" (5K down, 5 to go!). I have plans of sticking to yoga this time, of traveling to a country i've never been to before (Croatia? Greece? Bali?). I have plans for peace of mind as well. I have intentions to stress less, do more. Worry less, live more. Cocoon less, go out more. I have plans of reading great books, practicing french, and starting my book. I have all the plans someone who is excited about life would have, tailored to little me.

I also have wishes for 2011. I wish for my mother to be better. For my mother to stay with me and to get better. That is my biggest wish, i would trade in all my other wishes and previously declared plans in a heart beat, for this one wish.

I have wishes for my husband to find his peace at work and reap the fruits of all that hard work. I wish him success, in abundance.

I have one last wish that my best friend moves back from the states. That somehow her husband decides that his 15 year plan is not worth it, and just calls it a day. You never know....

Lastly, i am grateful for 2010. I am grateful for my mom's perseverance and stubbornness :)

I am grateful for the miraculous opportunity to change industries and careers without taking a pay cut. I am grateful for the ability to work 12 hour days for weeks on end and being able to prove myself worthy of this opportunity, and being recognized for it so quickly.

I am grateful for the proximity of this opportunity to my home! I am grateful for one year of marriage, peaceful and happy and as smooth as one can hope for it to be.

I am grateful for my 20's being over with all their drama, confusion and intensity. I am grateful for moving into a more grounded era of my life.

Lastly i am grateful for for all the gifts that God has given me to be able to live my life as i live it.

Excellent thing with work. Really. I understand how difficult it can be to transfer from one job to another, in different fields, and having to suffer a pay cut. I also know how beautiful it is when people finally give you recognition for the hard work you've put it in.

Ahh N, Croatia is beauuuutiful, and I can't really talk about Bali, but if you ever decide to come to Greece, do throw me an email for dos & don'ts & hows & wheres, coz if Anthony Bourdain & a whole professional production company behind him really did not manage to get it right, it makes me wonder how difficult it can actually be do actually visit Greece and make good travelling choices!?

We have enough of a bad reputation as it is already, I'm thinking let me help not enhance it :pp

Have a beautiful year, filled with Health, Productivity, Happiness, and the baby book you've been yearning for :)

N, you might wanna skip the Yoga part, I am telling you I can't laugh since 5 days now 'cause it's given me stiff & virtually strained abs. I swear I was a lot more flexible before Yoga, wallahi el 3azeem .-

On a more serious tone, I can appreciate what you said, I hate gyms (Posh can confirm :p ) but I love the Yoga and Pilates room, if for nothing else, then for the relaxation and stretching I can offer myself that 1-1,5 hour of Yoga practice.

I hope & wish you that you will find a way to get it back in your life, because all of us need great things in our life, and you deserve them :)
